I'm starting this group, because I see other Moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop them all and meet them. That seems a little aggressive, so I thought I would start here and see if I can't meet some fun moms, parents and kids in my neighborhood. I’m always wondering what else is going on in the area for my son to do and hopefully with the combined knowledge of this group we won’t miss any opportunity. The goal will be to meet moms, to have play dates with the kids and th …

Hey moms,   Motherhood is an amazing ride - life-changing, awe-inspiring, and maybe a bit sleep-depriving (!?), to say the least!  Meeting your neighborhood moms who have little ones the same age as yours is so ideal - to make friends, have age-appropriate get togethers, and to be involved in community.    In this group, expecting moms can meet one another and share in the excitement of what's to come.  Moms of newborns/infants can get together to share ideas, experience, coffee (: ) and support …
